Welcome! For the last thirteen year, Lauren has worked closely with neurodivergent children, adults, and their families. Their diagnoses include autism, ADHD, AuDHD, sensory processing disorders, and intellectual disabilities.

Lauren is a New York State and ASHA certified speech-language pathologist who holds a master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology, and a bachelor’s degree in Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences, with a double minor in Psychology, and Disabilities Studies.

Lauren specializes in all neurodivergent communication in autistic teens and adults, with special focuses on social skills, AAC systems, early language development.

She has experience in many settings, including adult rehabilitation, early intervention, pediatric feeding, private clinics. She has spent the last decade in a District 75 transitional high school program with level 1-3 autistic bipoc teens and young adults in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.

One of Lauren’s main goals when working with all clients is working towards adult independence, by teaching the communication, social, and ADL (activities of daily living) skills needed to navigate each day with as much autonomy as possible.

She feels strongly about creating opportunities for neurodivergent folx to build community, as well as supporting bipoc and lgbtqia neurodivergent community members.

Outside of work, she is an artist, crazy cat owner, environmental advocate, and lover of Victorian antiques!
